04:11⇢Iran Strikes Back with Casualties
⌨The newspapers report on Iranian missile strikes hitting Israel with casualties, marking a dramatic escalation from yesterday's Israeli nuclear facility attacks. Iranian strikes resulted in deaths, injuries, and missing persons in Tel Aviv (Al Joumhouria), while Lebanese media describe the conflict as now being "drawn with iron and fire" (Kataeb). Lebanon24 reports Tel Aviv "burning" amid mutual bombardment of facilities in both countries. Lebanon's Civil Aviation Authority closed Beirut airport from 2-6 AM, requiring special authorization for any exceptions during these hours (LBC, LBCI). Lebanese outlets frame this as an open war scenario with regional explosion potential, noting Iran's missile response "shook Tel Aviv" while Israeli attacks failed to destroy nuclear infrastructure (Addiyar). The airport closure reflects Lebanon's immediate security concerns as the Iran-Israel exchange intensifies beyond the diplomatic phase.
